Well I'm not Slast but I can confirm that big button is the Autopilot Disconnect and if you have your left hand on the left grip then your left thumb naturally rests on that button. That is handy on an Autoland as the your first action as the wheels touch the ground is to press that button.

Edit...sorry Slast...Crossed!
